App becomes new outlet for #MeToo

South Koreans using social media to expose harassment

SEOUL - A chat app where South Koreans can anonymously dish the dirt on their misbehaving bosses and colleagues is belatedly stirring the country's #MeToo movement, shedding new light on sexual harassment in the heavily male-dominated corporate culture.

Prompted by a recent wave of complaints about workplace misconduct - including a groping allegation made by a South Korean public prosecutor last month - the app Blind has added a new feature: a message board dedicated to a rising number of#MeToo stories.
